Rev. David Eardley is on vacation this week so Rev. Leslie Rutland-Tipton will be stepping up to be our worship leader on Sunday. This Sunday, we also will be celebrating the sacrament of holy communion.
Our in-person worship service in the sanctuary and the livestream begin at 9:30 am Sunday.
You are always welcome at this church!
